    You can't.

    You can go to the timetables, and guesstimate the time it will take from the terminus using the sectors (at the bottom of the timetable page) - but how long a bus takes will depend on traffic and conditions.

    Go to a-b.ie and click on "find a timetable", put in the route number, select the correct route and you can download a timetable for all stops.

    These timetables are designed for the purposes of the journey planner and hence they aren't necessarily the most user friendly. It should however give you a reasonable approximation on journey time and departure times for intermediate stops. It can be slightly hit and miss on which timetable (weekday, Saturday, Sunday) gets listed first.

    You can also download the national journey planner app or use the journey planner at www.a-b.ie and enter the journey you want to do and it will list out guide times - bear in mind that they can change based on traffic en route.
